The RBI has decided that its offices and all designated branches of agency banks conducting government banking will keep their counters open up to 8.00 p.m. tomorrow for greater convenience to taxpayers. Electronic transactions can be also done till midnight tomorrow.
In order to facilitate Government receipts and payments, necessary arrangements have been made to conduct special clearing operations across the country. Centralised payment systems, such as the RTGS and NEFT, will also be operational with the extended business hours.
The RBI adds that Monday has been declared as a holiday to enable banks to close their yearly accounts, but RBI offices will work on that date. However, centralised payment systems, such as RTGS and NEFT, will not be operational.
